Reminiscing on simpler times with a Nokia 3310 <3

Send us a text

Ever felt like you're drowning in a sea of digital notifications? Well, you're not alone! We tackle this modern overwhelm head-on, sharing strategies that've helped us reclaim control from constant pings, dings and rings. It's time to rediscover the peace that comes with turning off notifications, ignoring calls, and guiding our digital lives, rather than being guided by them.

Nostalgia kicks in as we journey back to simpler times – the pre-mobile phone era. How did we manage before Facebook notifications and Twitter DMs? Well, we'll tell you. We share stories of the thrill of swapping music with friends on iPods, and the simple joy of a dentist visit sticker. We also discuss the dual-edged sword of growing up during the technological boom—the balance of embracing innovation while grappling with challenges like a volatile housing market and future healthcare costs.

But it's not all doom and gloom. We wrap up with some practical advice on managing the digital information barrage. From organizing emails, blocking companies, to tapping into phone features that help keep the overwhelm at bay, we've got it covered. We explore the impacts of notifications on mental health and reinforce the importance of mindfulness. So tune in, and find out how to simplify your digital life, one notification at a time.
